Library locations and opening hours

When libraries are closed you can renew and reserve items online - log in to your library account with your library card number and PIN .

Our enquiry desks and public computers close 15 minutes before the library's actual closing time.

Christmas and New Year opening hours

All our libraries will be closed from 1.00pm on Christmas Eve, and all day on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Congleton, Crewe, Macclesfield, Nantwich and Wilmslow libraries will be open for their normal opening hours from Friday 27 December, except that all five libraries will close at 5.00pm on Tuesday 31 December and will remain closed all day Wednesday 1 January 2025.

In addition, Alderley Edge Library will be closed from 1.00pm on Tuesdays 24, and 31 December as there will be no volunteer sessions on those dates.
